Boarding

Looking for the best place to board your horse?

Discover the Taylor Made Advantage.

When it comes to breeding and raising racehorses, their father literally wrote the book.Published in 1993, the how-to manual titled, Joe Taylor's Complete Guide to Breeding and Raising Racehorses, has become the definitive guide for both farm managers and horse lovers alike.

Joe's memorable passion, wisdom and insatiable thirst for perfecting the art of horsemanship has been passed down to his sons, and today those deeply ingrained values live on at Taylor Made Farm.

Established as a boarding farm in 1976, Taylor Made evolved quickly and became a major force in both the public auction and stallion businesses.

Owned and operated by brothers Duncan, Ben, Frank and Mark Taylor, along with long-time family friend Pat Payne, Taylor Made's reputation has spread worldwide.Currently, they are ranked #1 leading consignor in the world by gross sales and have maintained that position for 9 of the last 10 years.

In November of 2010, Taylor Made handled the complete dispersal of one of the world's leading breeders, Gulf Coast Farms.This dispersal of nearly 100 horses, most of which were boarded in Nicholasville at Taylor Made Farm, naturally left Taylor Made with open stalls for the first time in quite awhile."We've been operating at full capacity for the past 10 years," said Frank Taylor."Now we have a rare opportunity for select clients to board their horses with us and experience the many advantages that we have to offer."

Located on 1500 acres of rich, Kentucky Bluegrass, Taylor Made features 22 barns with 429 stalls.Their facilties also include three round pens, five exercise walkers and 107 paddocks - all of which were artfully designed by Joe Taylor using the guiding principles set forth in his landmark book.

Of the countless stakes winners raised at Taylor Made, the most recent include Belmont Stakes winner DROSSELMEYER (G1).

Taylor Made offers many services including: boarding, foaling, lay-ups, sales prep, stallion services, and public and private sales representation, as well as complete equine portfolio management.

"We have an incredible team of the world's best horsemen, veterinarians and blacksmiths all working together to maximize your horse's potential," Taylor concluded.
